If they’d not included an art book and used that money to release a proper disc game I’d have been down. Ubisoft do seem to like to f*** things up for themselves and then wonder why their business is in the toilet.
I obviously have no numbers but have a real feeling they lost a lot of subscribers when they increased prices last October so had no choice but to do another 180.
They’re literally all over the place, like they’re pissing into the wind.
So with the more recent article was this digital foundry thinking this already had PSSR2 implemented when it wasn’t? Either way the game looks serious on the pro!
@crossbit yes and these practices are said to be introduced for one purpose (that the public are on board with) but are actually used for many more (that the public don’t even know about let alone agree with).
@carlos82 it’s disappointing when you don’t like a game most others do. That’s how I felt about persona 4 golden on the vita which everyone was raving about.
I liked the music but apart from that really didn’t see what the fuss was about. Each to their own!
@dark_knightmare2 I think you are misled. They can easily lower margins if they desired. They just don’t desire it. How many billions did they clear last quarter? I probably didn’t word my comment very well but my point was they could meet the consumer half way if they wanted.
@dark_knightmare2 “29 percent voting Sony being greedy”
“it’s going to crater their sales and the money they can make”
Doesn’t that prove the point?
Sony could easily lower some margins (to make less profit) and meet the consumer half way to help navigate this fiasco. Instead it’s just being passed fully to the consumer, hence greed.
"We know that price changes impact our community, and after careful evaluation, we found this was a necessary step to ensure we can continue delivering innovative, high-quality gaming experiences to players worldwide,"
Alternatively Sony you could stop wasting project after project, cancelling team after team and manage your money better in the first place likely meaning this wouldn’t need to occur at all. The amount of money wasted this gen has been insane and we’re now paying for it.
@Sulleymonster do you mind if I ask why you found Yotei boring? I was looking at getting it soon though seeing your comment reminded me how bored I was playing forbidden west.

I was on the fence with this anyway but that’s swayed my decision to not purchase.

Asian devs putting western ones to shame right now not just in terms of output but also how they’re not being laid off.

@Almost_Ghostly yes but remember you don’t need an Xbox to have gamepass.

Re: Random: Lana Del Rey Papped Buying a PS5 Ahead of Her 007 First Light Appearance
She’d have recouped the price of the console in interest by the time she’d left the shop.
Re: PS5's Fairgames Is a Free-to-Play Extraction Shooter, and It's Not Dead Yet
@IntrepidWombat I’d definitely vote for your game to be greenlit 🤣
Re: PS5's Fairgames Is a Free-to-Play Extraction Shooter, and It's Not Dead Yet
I honestly don’t understand how Hulst is still in charge after this total mismanagement of their studios and output.
He must be a seriously likeable dude or something to still have his job.
Re: Cinematic Specialist Blizzard Helping Out on Fable's Cutscenes
Hope this still ends up on PS5 with the rumours Xbox are reconsidering their exclusive strategy.

Re: 'Who on Earth Would Want This?': Almost 90% of PS5 Fans Not Interested in New 'Playerbase' Program
Sony (read Shu and co) were so in touch with the fanbase during the PS4 generation. It’s sad to see they’re clearly not during the PS5 gen.
At least they’re trying I suppose.
Re: Former Resident Evil, Witcher Devs Unite for a Stylish New Action Adventure Game on PS5

Re: Forza Horizon 6 Japan Map Revealed as New Gamplay Drops
@Mes_Urson no worries! I miss PGR too, absolutely loved that series and really miss it.
I’d snap up a new entry in a heart beat, or even a remake would do!
Re: 007 First Light Is Getting Its Own Limited Edition DualSense PS5 Controller
@Quintumply exactly! The only special edition dualsense I want is one with a bigger battery 😂
Re: Forza Horizon 6 Japan Map Revealed as New Gamplay Drops
@Mes_Urson Bizzarre Creations were the developers behind MSR/PGR. Turn 10 started Forza and the releases overlapped, this didn’t follow PGR.
Re: Opinion: Sony's 'Playerbase' Is a Weak and Weird Way to Celebrate PS5 Fans

Doesn’t interest me personally at all.

Re: Opinion: I Played Kingdom Hearts for the Very First Time, Here's What I Liked and What I Didn't

Re: PlayStation's Disastrous First-Party Leadership Culminates in Yet Another Studio Closure
@Stragen8 agreed, the current leadership team are a joke compared to Trenton, House, Yoshida, Layden etc.
It’s actually embarrassing a corporation like Sony can make such bad decisions over and over again.
